We do this for the love of music and community – and this event is a great way to share both. We want all of our volunteers to gain a positive experience – go away happy, and hopefully return for next year’s festival.
Open Tuning 2018 is already on track to be the bestest yet. Last year we managed more than 100 acts at 20+ venues – with a great team of volunteers working with us before during and after the festival.
